Chapter 1835 Everyone's vying to come

As it happened, Lu Sanzhu was very interested in traveling far away, even more so than the other children.

He had never been outside of Dong'an Prefecture and had long wanted to go out and see the world, especially after his second brother told him about the customs and culture of Linzhang Prefecture in the southwest and the places he had visited along the way.

Back then, I had neither money nor time, so I could only dream about it.

Now that he's finally encountered such a great opportunity, one that doesn't even require him to spend any money, it would be a real shame to miss it.

Lu Sanzhu immediately went to ask Master Ji of Peach Blossom Grove for leave. This time, unlike the previous minor incidents, he would be gone for several months, which put Master Ji in a difficult position.

Lu Sanzhu went to great lengths, presenting facts and reasoning, and finally managed to sway Ji Dongjia.

Master Ji didn't care about anything else, but Lu Sanzhu was right about one thing. As the manager, he couldn't just shut himself in and work in isolation; he should go out and broaden his horizons.

Especially now that Jiangyuan County is becoming more and more prosperous, the number of tourists visiting the peach blossom forest has increased significantly, including many people from other counties. However, the peach blossom forest has remained unchanged over the years, which makes it feel a bit lacking.

As the manager, Lu Sanzhu occasionally received guests of high status. However, his experience was limited, and he often couldn't keep up with the topics the guests discussed. This couldn't continue; Lu Sanzhu was already facing a career crisis.

Master Ji was quite tempted by his words and finally agreed to give him a few months to go out and see the world. However, there was one condition: his trip wouldn't be in vain; he had to write a report on his observations upon his return. If he offered suggestions that would benefit the future development of the Peach Blossom Grove, he would receive a raise.

Lu Sanzhu agreed without hesitation.

After settling things off with Master Ji, he shamelessly pestered the old lady to let him go. He even said that since the old lady and the second son were both out, the eldest son should be the one guarding the house. If he, the third son, was left at home without someone to keep him in check, he would run wild and cause trouble.

This statement made the old lady roll her eyes. However, Lu Sanzhu was not good at anything else, but he was quite clever. When he was out and about, his slyness actually made him more successful.

Thus, Lu Sanzhu became one of the travelers.

With the addition of Hua Xian, who usually takes care of the old lady, and Ying Dong, who is skilled in martial arts, the group of eight was complete.

They also found several bodyguards in the prefectural city who were also heading north, and they traveled together until they reached the territory of Changjin Prefecture before parting ways.

The old lady originally planned to reach Chenggu County before the New Year, but unfortunately, she was getting old, although she said she was in good health and it didn't matter. However, her sons, Lu Erbai and Lu Sanzhu, both agreed to slow down the journey.

Secondly, the three young boys were indeed traveling, and they couldn't possibly be constantly on the move. When they encountered meaningful events like poetry gatherings along the way, the old lady would ask them to stop and let the three children participate, gain experience, and at the same time see how well the students in other places were learned.

After going back and forth for a while, we finally arrived in Chenggu County today.

After listening to Lu Erbai's explanation, Shu Yu suddenly realized what was going on. She turned to Shu Rui and the other two and said, "You're here to travel, so since you've come to Chenggu County, you should explore and see as much as you can. Rest well today, and I'll find someone to show you around Chenggu County another day."
